Kysylyn (, ) is a village in Volyn Oblast, Ukraine.

==History== Kysylyn was founded in 1545. The first documentation of Jews in the town dates to the 17th century. During the First World War, Kysylyn was severely damaged. Sources indicate that the Jewish population declined from over 850 in 1897 to under 100 in 1921. By 1939, at least 61 Jewish households are known to have existed in the town, suggesting a population of several hundred. In addition to Jews, Ukrainians and Poles lived in Kysylyn as well.
